That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. That is NOT the correct way to use AF Fine Tune (IF it's even needed, which most of the time it is not).

You need to do CONTROLLED TESTS, not just random shooting. Too many variables, your way. Ask Mako (or others here) for proper procedure, I don't have time to write it out, or search for it.

Yeah well right or wrong given how sharp the image is it would seem he got it nailed.

Absolutely - they're tiny and in constant motion, not an easy capture by any means.
